Switch
,
Module
,
and
Port
The Switch, module, and port number are entered in these fields at the top
of the screen. The Switch will always forward traffic to the specified device through this port. The
bottom of the screen will display each corresponding destination address for these three items.
Status
is a read-only field which lists the status of the static forwarding table entry. It can be “in use” or
“not apply.” “Not apply” means that there is a static filter for the same MAC address. Static filters always
take precedence over static forwarding entries. The Switch will automatically upgrade the Status to “in
use” once the static filter is removed.
Configure MAC Address Filtering
The
Custom Filtering Table
contains filtering information configured into the Switch by (local or network)
management specifying destination addresses which are not allowed to be forwarded. The Switch will check
both the destination and source MAC addresses on all packets.
To access the
Custom Filtering Table
, select
Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table
from the
System Configuration
menu. Then select
Configure MAC Address Filtering
from the bottom of the
Configure Filtering and Forwarding table
screen. The following screen appears:
